Why Wedding Planners Choose Professional Van Services
You’re coordinating a wedding with 80 guests flying into Toronto Pearson. Ceremony at a Niagara winery. Reception at a different vineyard 15 kilometers away. Guests staying at three hotels. Elderly relatives need accessible vehicles. Bachelor party wants party van vibes. Budget-conscious families want cost-effective shuttles.
This is where professional wedding van transportation saves your entire event. I’ve coordinated shuttle services for event planners across Ontario for years. Windermere House Muskoka weddings. Queen’s Landing NOTL. Elora Mill. Nottawasaga Resort ski weddings.
Here’s what I know: wedding transportation isn’t optional when your venue is remote, guests are scattered, or you have multi-location ceremonies. Professional van coordination prevents the nightmare scenarios—lost guests, late arrivals, drunk driving after open bar, parking chaos at historic properties with limited space.
Let me show you exactly how wedding van services work, which vehicles match different guest counts, and how we coordinate everything from airport pickups to Sunday brunch returns.
Wedding Van Fleet Options
From intimate 14-guest Sprinters to 40-passenger coaches. Match vehicle to guest count for maximum value.

Smart Vehicle Selection by Guest Count
Event planners save money choosing right-sized vehicles. Stop defaulting to “multiple Sprinters” for every wedding.
| Guest Count | Vehicle Options | Event Planner Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| 8-14 Guests | Single Sprinter Van (14 capacity) | Perfect for intimate weddings, bridal party shuttles, VIP family transport |
| 20-28 Guests | 28-Seater Mini-Coach OR 2 Sprinters | Recommend coach – single vehicle coordination, more cost-effective |
| 35-40 Guests | 40-Seater Coach OR 3 Sprinters | Recommend coach – saves thousands, simpler logistics |
| 50-60 Guests | Coach + Sprinter combo OR 2 Coaches | Mixed fleet allows VIP separation (family vs friends groups) |
| 80+ Guests | Multiple coaches + Sprinters | Staggered departures, designated routes, professional fleet coordination |
Cost Comparison: Why Coaches Beat Multiple Sprinters
40 Guests – Sprinter Approach: Three 14-passenger Sprinters = 3 chauffeurs, 3 vehicles to coordinate, higher total cost
40 Guests – Coach Approach: One 40-seater coach = 1 chauffeur, simpler coordination, significant cost savings
Event planners: Always ask about coach options for 28+ guest weddings.
